Only you can make me happy 
I never thought that I 
I'd find someone like you 
I feel hypnotized 
With the things you do

Forever you and me

Only you can make me happy

You must be Heaven sent 
Sent into my life 
And I compliment you baby 
Baby 
We have a love that's strong and true 
It's true in every way 
I want to be with you 
Each and every day

Surface

In mathematics, specifically in topology, a surface is a two-dimensional topological manifold. The most familiar examples are those that arise as the boundaries of solid objects in ordinary three-dimensional Euclidean space R3 — for example, the surface of a ball. On the other hand, there are surfaces, such as the Klein bottle, that cannot be embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space without introducing singularities or self-intersections. more »
